Great news for Northern Michigan. Bad news for bugs! 🐜
Two locally built, family-owned companies, each known for putting customers first — have come together in a move that says a lot about where this industry is headed.
Parshall Companies has officially acquired NIX Pest Solutions.
NIX, founded by Nick Cobb in 2022, quickly built a strong and loyal customer base across Northern Michigan. Serving both residential and commercial clients, the company earned its reputation the right way — through hard work, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to quality and customer care.
As the business continued to grow, Nick faced a decision. Larger, national companies were an option — but they didn’t feel right. NIX was built in Northern Michigan, for the people of Northern Michigan. Handing that over to a big-box provider just didn’t align with the standards or relationships he had worked so hard to build.
Instead, he found alignment with Parshall Companies.
For over 17 years, Parshall has been quietly building something similar — a company rooted in the same values, serving the same types of customers, and refusing to compromise on service. Behind the scenes, they’ve invested heavily in building strong systems, developing teams, and creating the infrastructure needed to support long-term growth without losing the personal touch.
From technicians in the field to customer service teams and scheduling systems, Parshall has built the foundation to serve Northern Michigan at scale — while still keeping quality at the center of everything.
That’s what made this partnership make sense.
This isn’t a story of one company replacing another — it’s a story of two companies that were built the same way, coming together to do even more.
And importantly, Nick Cobb isn’t going anywhere. He remains involved, working alongside the Parshall team to ensure his customers continue to receive the same level of care they’ve always known — now backed by even greater support.
And with that support comes even more value for NIX customers.
Customers now have access to expanded pest control capabilities, including:
🔸 Wildlife trapping, removal, and exclusion
🔸 Cockroach treatments
🔸 Bedbug treatments
🔸 The ability to service larger and more complex commercial properties
But it doesn’t stop there.
As part of Parshall Companies, NIX customers now gain access to all three divisions under one roof:
🐜 Parshall Pest Control Experts
🌱 Parshall Lawn Care Experts
🌳 Parshall Tree Care Experts
More services. More expertise. One trusted, local team.
Both companies have always stood behind one thing:
100% satisfaction guaranteed.
This marks Parshall’s third acquisition — and their second in Northern Michigan — as they continue to grow into what many are already recognizing as a leading pest control provider in the region.
But more than growth, this move represents something bigger:
Local companies choosing to stay local.
And a shared belief that Northern Michigan is best served by those who live, work, and grew up here.
A strong future ahead — built the right way.
